Outline of activity
Pupils were asked to imagine that
they were applying for a summer
job in France.
Pupils were placed into groups of
3 and given 3 headings. For each
heading they were asked to discuss the information they would
have to provide. They then looked
through their notes and highlighted useful vocabulary.
Pupils completed their CV after
the group discussion.
Teacher Voice
“ Pupils saw the value in what they
were doing as the CV task coincided
with the “My Skills and Qualities” unit
in PSE. Some pupils found it useful to
write their CV in English first as it gave
them a chance to think about what
they wanted to say and how they
wanted to say it. More able pupils then
participated in a mock job interview.”
